and there she is
widows-thrill
or devil's backbone,
some sort of specimen
hog-tied to the sediment
combs her hand
with nails bit past the quick
through her hair
til she thinks there's not one incongruent strand
dragging her feet
down the primrose path
off on the hard way into heaven
I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
